A Bright Day

It *was* a bright day at the beach. Then this woman came out and set up her umbrella and it got even brighter. I want one. This was an edit full of cloning out things: people, trash cans, a water tower, random stuff on the sand. I cloned no less than seven things out. IContinue reading “A Bright Day”

Santa Fe Church

I decreased the shadows and the highlights in the sky. I changed the temp towards the warm, but evenContinue reading “Hidden cove”
